She was weak. Was. That's what makes Ayame a great character thus far. She's had to become a leader. True leaders aren't born, they appear when they're needed the most.

Her compassion is what separates her from the simply strong (Mumei), the passionate berserker (Ikoma), the stoic rule-followers (Kurusu and Engineer-chan), and the paper tigers (the nameless dumbasses).

Ayame was born into privilege, but was compassionate enough to respect her "lessers" even before the initial disaster struck. Through the adversity she's been forced to endure, she's already become a more capable leader than her father.
